FAQ

Can I set up Logtrust to work with multiple PagerDuty services?

No; you can only associate your delivery settings with one PagerDuty service at a time.

If something is resolved in Logtrust, is it also resolved in PagerDuty?

No, it is not; you will have to resolve the incident separately in PagerDuty.

It doesn’t seem to be working. What’s going on?

Setting up Logtrust requires some working knowledge of your directory and system internals that may take some time to work through. Check your logs and contact Logtrust for assistance. In addition, feel free to contact us if you’re unable to sort out the difficulty.
